Is there any other way to get hardware or device ID which is not dependent on package/app and publisher id's and also doesn't require usage of any restricted capabilities?

What I've already found:

EasClientDeviceInformation. Doesn't work on mobile devices. Link
ASHWID. Dependent on package/app. Link
SystemIdentification.GetSystemIdForPublisher. Dependent on publisher id. Link 1 Link 2
SystemIdentification.GetSystemIdForUser. Requires restricted capability. Link 1 Link 2
SMBIOS. Requires restricted capability. Link

But don't throw Exception, put your own exception instead, or at least throw another type of exception – Evgeny Gorbovoy Apr 19 '18 at 13:55
These APIs are individualized or require restricted capabilities for privacy reasons. What purpose do you need the ID for? – Peter Torr - MSFT Apr 19 '18 at 23:14
@Peter Torr - MSFT I need ID to identify user PC independently of publisher ID. – Alexander Apr 20 '18 at 08:44
What for? If it's for advertising, then the `AdvertisingId` is what you want. – Peter Torr - MSFT Apr 20 '18 at 14:57
